    Tool Boxes

    Hi Meego, Sort of. It's a 4 litre 2+2 Grinnall. Based on a TR7 of 1979 vintage this Porsche beater was built in 1992 by Mark Grinnall of three wheel trike fame and is basically a Rover SD1 underneath, 5" wider track, luxury interior and full metal integrated body kit. He did 350 conversions of...

    Tool Boxes

    Well, after all your assistance I eventually made a decision and went for the Halfords Advanced Tool Chest and cabinet bundle in at £476 in their Black Friday deal. Whilst the quality of the Costco Kirkland was without question, the difficulty in seeing/obtaining one and extra width of the units...

    D2 rear wiper

    I had exactly the same thing and did everything I could think of to try and get my aftermarket arm and blade to wipe the rear screen properly. In the end I called the (well known) supplier and complained. Without admitting liability they more or less admitted that the after market non original...

    Wanted Discovery S2 rear step STC50290

    My rear step has died, due to old age and exposure. Has anyone a reasonably rust free one under the bench just looking for a new home? I am located north Wiltshire near Malmesbury. Tel: 07933 429710or 01666 823456. Thanks in anticipation Steve

    Tool Boxes

    There's no doubt this is a mother of a box at £480 in store or £690 delivered from their web site, so why the vast difference then? The box is heavy, very heavy and whilst they don't give the un-loaded weight the box has a "capacity" of 1.12 tons! That's a lot of tools. It's a great design and...

    Four post lifts

    Thanks guys for all the input. Firstly the jury is still out for me regarding which sort of lift to install for my S2 Discovery and a variety of old classics. But have some findings I will share with you all: Scissor Lift This is a very mobile solution, the wheels hang so there is no need for...

    Four post lifts

    I am considering the purchase of a 4 post service/storage lift and was wondering if any members have installed a four poster in their garage. There are various contenders including those that import Chinese lifts and those that manufacture their own in the UK such as Strongman. It's a large...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Sorry, no photos, can just about manage a hammer, as for a camera...….. So the whole effect is very good, the slight flock effect of the bare headlining material looks great in pale grey, and it's only when you touch it that you realise there is no foam rubber back material there. The £140 was...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    So on to the sagging headlining. With the ingress of water and degradation over time of the foam part of the headlining, the fabric is bound to part company with it. Initially I have tried a spray headlining adhesive but this has proved to be a total waste of time, with adhesive everywhere you...

    I guess not a fan of Hilka then. Any particular reason?

    Tool Boxes

    That certainly looked and sounded the business but unfortunately I received this reply from Costco when enquiring about the product: Unfortunately this item is now deleted and will not be returning to our stores. *please note this is always subject to change*

    Tool Boxes

    Not sure where to put this question and I guess it has been done to death in the past as well. Like many gutter-spannerers, I have amassed a motley selection of tools, distributed around the garage in various old cantilever tool boxes and buckets. I have now built a new triple garage/workshop...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The sunroofs are back in with a good thick bead of that Tiger Bond stuff all round. Both main seals have been removed and the channels cleaned. On close inspection these seals seem in good condition. The glass fixing screws have been tightened (and resealed) to pull the glass down firmer on to...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    Sorry InterceptorX Some of what you say may be true, but it still doesnt make little plastic boxes silicone into the corner of a steel pressing designed to channel water away from the interior of the car a good design.

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The front sun roof is now completely out and I think I know sort of how it works, waterproofing wise. The main sunroof, mounts to the top of the roof. There is no custom silicone rubber or Nephrene seal around the outer frame to clamp down onto the roof with a nice groove in the moulding to keep...

    Leaking sunroofs and headlinings

    The headlining is now out. This helped considerably: http://blog.discoverthat.co.uk/2017/03/remove-headlining-part-1.html. Now the headlining does not come out too easily from the rear of the car if you have a 7 seat option, especially single handed as I am. But with a little fiddling it's out...
